I write... a lot! Buy a pretty book and when it gets bad just scribble down whatever's inside u, even if it comes out sounding a little bit wrong or scarey. I find reading it back a few months later can help u identify your triggers.

yes i know what its like. where you don't want to do anything but sit there and be sad. i somehow came out of that. i don't know how really. forced myself to go out with my friends even though i didn't laugh or smile or anything just sat there looking depressed. for their sake i'd try to pretend to be happy eventually i snapped out of it. that and listening to depressing songs which is so addicting. try to write or something instead. talk to people. hope you feel better. xoxo

i know how you feel. the two things i find that help is to write poetry and to not isolate, going out even when you feel like hell can sometimes really help being around friends or family

When I am feeling depressed, I always stop myself and take a step back..i think about the positive things in my life..and i think about what can i do to make the situation better..because getting stressed out about it and upset will just make things worse

I've always been told by friends to stop thinking and just focous on right now..this very instant in time.Not the future, tomorrow or even today, just rigth now.It sounds like it wouldnt help but concentrating on myself in that very second always helps me regain some sainity

I know exactly how you feel. It feels like it is never going to get better and that everything around you is falling apart. I have to break down and let the tears come out and face my fears. You do konw why you are crying inside, you just have to take the time to figure it out. Talking to someone really close will help out or doing something that you love. If you love drawing, take some time out for yourself and sketch. Whatever you do, don't dismiss it. Problems never go away by ignoring them.

I know the feeling. I tried anti-depressants, didn't work. I find keeping myself busy helps. I even find that quite often just to go for a walk really helps. Everyone has a different way of dealing with depression. As others have said even a creative outlet helps. For me in the end my saving salvation was professional help. Good luck and I hope all goes well.
